29 MARCH 2023 – 15.00 / 17.30
Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung EU Office
RUE DU TACITURNE 38, 1000 BRUSSELS
The European Commission communication of 9 November 2022 on the review of the Stability and Growth Pact proposes solutions to some of the pressing criticalities of the current economic governance framework.
The corridor of reform is politically narrow. While the proposal stresses the importance of the green transition, it does not seem to increase by much the member states’ fiscal space for investment in the decarbonization of their economies.
The Commission’s Green Deal Industrial Plan, in tandem with the announcement of a European Sovereignty Fund, may open complementary pathways for financing the green transition. The importance of a successful decarbonisation of the EU’s economy is highlighted by the EU’s own climate objectives and energy dependency, as well as by the work on integrating climate risk in economic modeling by the ECB and the potential impact of this on the assessment of the sustainability of national debts.
Following an event in Rome in 2022, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and ECCO convene a dialogue in Brussels with Italian and German Progressives to consider possible ways to balance fiscal sustainability and responsibility with the financing of the green transition in the context of the review of the Stability and Growth Pact and beyond.
